The defendants stand accused of violating Section 1 of the Federal Criminal Code, which provides: “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason.”

Further, the defendants are accused of violations of international statutes defined in 1950 by the Nuremberg Tribunal; to wit, Crimes against Peace, in Principle VI, specifically Principle VI(a) as follows:

(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;

(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey announced last week that the FBI would reopen the criminal probe into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s illegal email server, igniting widespread panic and controversy in the face of a days-away general election.

It is a rare event indeed when a high-ranking official, elected or appointed, takes action out of purely altruistic or noble reasons. I do not believe for one second that FBI agents stumbled upon new evidence during the course of their investigation into the illicit sexting scandal centered around disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and that this compelled Comey to reopen the investigation – only that the evidence is being cited as justification for doing so.

I have addressed the fact here on several occasions that Bill and Hillary Clinton have had a decades-long relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization sworn to subjugating the United States and the rest of the Western world. Both of Abedin’s parents are influential players in this organization. Since his political ascendency, Barack Obama has also had a very close affiliation with the group; in fact, Obama and Clinton’s State Department effectively facilitated the Brotherhood’s rise to power in Egypt.

I have also postulated that were a proper investigation conducted, perhaps dozens of political appointees, elected officials and sundry operatives from both the Republican and Democrat parties and administrations past and present would be tried for treason attendant to their actions involving Islamists and U.S. Middle East policy. The criminality and rapaciousness of the Clinton crime family (an appropriate appellation given its possible vulnerability under RICO statutes) has been evident for years, glaringly so over the last several. These have simply been shielded, ignored and overlooked by complicit or compromised individuals in high places.

In recent weeks, we have been made aware that certain career agents in the FBI were outraged when Comey elected not to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, citing criminality without intent, as though Clinton and her surrogates had inadvertently committed serial felonies. In all probability, James Comey was given a choice between being the demonized bearer of bad news in the short term, or ultimately being a co-defendant, facing charges that might put him in prison for the rest of his life.

At this juncture, it is difficult to determine how far and how fast the FBI investigation will proceed, or if it will result in Hillary Clinton’s position becoming untenable whether or not she is elected president. We may never see the email Clinton sent to Huma Abedin demanding that Sheik Yerbouti cut a check for $10 million to the Clinton Foundation if he wanted State Department juice behind him in some effort to dramatically compromise U.S. national security, or her email reading “Let ’em burn” to military personnel awaiting orders to render aid to our personnel under siege in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. We may never see resignations, indictments, or convictions resulting from the reopening of this investigation – or we may get to witness processions of orange jumpsuits doing perp walks and the entire corrupt Beltway culture laid waste.

Obviously, as reported by WND’s Jerome Corsi, Clinton’s forwarding of classified information to an unsecured Yahoo email account owned by Abedin for later dissemination by America’s Islamist enemies is a treasonable offense, and it is quite possible that acts such as this were going to be brought to light by parties in the FBI whether Comey or radical affirmative-action Attorney General Loretta Lynch thought it was a good idea or not.

It is possible that the computer supposedly shared by Abedin and Weiner is the smoking gun in this case. It is also entirely possible that Weiner, as some like political biographer Ed Klein have suggested, cut a leniency deal with the FBI to provide access to this computer given that he may be facing prison over his child sexting case – but I do not believe that the evidence on this device is anything new to that law enforcement organization.

While the political lay of the land in Washington remains obscure to many Americans, it is always uppermost in the minds of those in positions such as Comey. Though he serves at the pleasure of the president, he is not a made member of either the Clinton or the Obama crime families. Ironically, it was this trait and his credibility as a squeaky-clean career FBI man that made him attractive to the White House.

As we know, Bill and Hillary Clinton typically expect their minions not only to let themselves be thrown under the bus, they often expect said minions to dive under the bus without waiting to be thrown. There’s an axiom that involves a person doing the right thing for the wrong reason; perhaps in James Comey, the Clintons finally ran up against someone whose sense of self-preservation superseded political loyalty.
